Peter Gabriel
Old Medley (Live at the Niedersachsenstadion, Hannover, 10th July 1992)
[Part I: Dance on a Volcano]

[Verse 1]
Holy Mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top
Dirty old mountain all covered in smoke
She can turn you to stone
You better start doing it right
Yes, you better start doing it right
All right

[Verse 2]
You're halfway up and you're halfway down
The pack on your back keeps turning you around
Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
You don't look back, whatever you do
Yes, you better start doing it right
All right
Yes, you better start doing it right

[Part II: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway]

[Intro]
And the lamb lies down, down, down, down on Broadway

[Verse 1]
Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow in off the land
The Movie-Palace is now undone
The all-night watchmen have had their fun
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It's the same old ending – it's time to go
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream
There is something moving in the sidewalk steam
And the lamb it lies down, down, down, down on Broadway
[Verse 2]
Nighttime flyers feel their pains
Drugstore takes down its chains
Metal motion comes in bursts
But the gas station can quench that thirst
Suspension cracked on an unmade road
The trucker's eyes, they read 'Overload'
And out on the subway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
He Exits in the daylight, spray gun hid
And the lamb it lies down, down, down, down on Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway

[Outro]
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic, in the air, tonight, tonight, tonight
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air

[Part III: The Musical Box]

[Verse 1]
She's a lady, she's got time
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face
She's a lady, she is mine
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh
Just a little bit
[Verse 2]
I've been waiting here for so long
And all this time passed me by
It hardly seems to matter now, not now

[Verse 3]
You stand there with your fixed expression
Just casting doubt on all I have to say
So why don't you touch me, touch me
Why don't you touch me, touch me, touch me

[Chorus]
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now

[Part IV: Firth Of Fifth]

[Instrumental]

[Part V: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)]

[Intro]
It's one o'clock and it's time for lunch
Bum de dum de dum, dum, dum
When the sun beats down, and I lie on me bench
I can always hear them talk
[Verse]
Ah, there's always been Ethel
“Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now!”
And then Mister Lewis:
“Isn't it time that he was out on his own?”
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds – cuckoo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp

[Chorus]
I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show
Oh, your show, it's your show
I know, yes, I know what I like
And I like, I like what I know
Is getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show, your show
Your show, you know that is your show

[Post-Chorus]
Your show
You know that is your show
Your show, you know
You know that is your show

[Instrumental Break: "Tambourine Dance"]

[Outro]
When the sun beats down, and I lie on me bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, I'm just a lawnmower
You can tell me by the way I walk
Walk!

[Part VI: That's All]

[Verse]
Well just as I thought it was going all right
I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
And I could say day, and you'd say night
And tell it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

[Part VII: Illegal Alien]

[Chorus]
No, no, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien
No, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
No, no, no, no, no, it's no fun being an illegal alien

[Part VIII: Your Own Special Way]

[Interlude]
You have your own special way

[Part IX: Follow You Follow Me]

[Chorus]
And I will follow you, will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
I will follow you, will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be

[Part X: Stagnation]

[Bridge]
Oh, ohhh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, ohhh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, ohhh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Part XI: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) (Reprise)]

[Chorus]
Ye-ye-ye-ye-yes I know, well, I know what I like
And I like, well, I like what I know, I know, I know
It's getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show
Your show, you know it's your show
